They crowned a new Queen of the Nile
Soon gently strutting down the aisle
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

The girl beyond repair
There/They’re solitaire
The girl beyond repair
There/They’re solitaire

To the singing of frail and wounded thrushes
And the darling sounds of cracking spines
They seek entrance to within your lashes
Into your velvet palace, crystalline
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Not beyond compare
Celibataire
But beyond repair
There/They’re solitaire

So spread your arms and legs
And fly
This is goodbye
